Check: GEN003624

Solaris 9 X86 STIG: GEN003624 (in version v1 r9)

Title

The system must use a separate filesystem for /tmp (or equivalent). (Cat III impact)

Discussion

The use of separate filesystems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a filesystem becoming full or failing.

Check Content

Determine if the /tmp path is a separate file system. # grep /tmp /etc/vfstab If no result is returned, /tmp is not on a separate file system, this is a finding. If the returned result indicates that /tmp is mounted on a memory or swap based file system, this is not a finding

Fix Text

Migrate the /tmp path onto a separate file system.
